The claim that human meat was found in the freezers of an Oklahoma City McDonald’s factory has been circulating online. This rumor, alleged to involve 90% of inspected McDonald’s factories, is false. It originated from a satirical blog and has no basis in reality.

Origins of the Rumor

In 2014, the satirical website Huzlers.com published a post suggesting that human remains were discovered in McDonald’s factories. This false narrative was shared again on a Facebook page, known for promoting conspiracy theories. The post suggested that human remains came from children, a baseless claim without any evidence.

Fact-Checking the Claim

There is no truth to the claim that human remains have been found in McDonald’s factories. The story on Huzlers.com offered no official sources or proof and has been debunked as a hoax. The rumor resurfaced when shared on Facebook, but linked back to Huzlers.com, highlighting its satirical origin.

McDonald’s Response

McDonald’s has clearly stated that its patties are made of 100% beef. The company maintains transparency about its ingredients on its official website, countering claims circulated by hoaxes and rumors.
